Systematic Review and Meta-analysis are techniques
which attempt to associate the findings from similar studies and deliver
quantitative summaries of the research literature?[1]. The Systematic review of research literature identifies the common
research methods, research design, sample size, parameters used, survey instruments,
etc. used by the group of researchers. This study intends to fulfill this purpose in order to identify common research
mythologies, dependent variables, sample sizes, moderators and mediators used
in the field of analysing technology adoption based studies that utilizes the UTAUT2 model. This research collected over 59
published articles and conducted descriptive analytics. The results have
revealed performance expectancy/perceived usefulness, trust and habit as the
best predictors of consumer behavioural intentions towards the adoption of
mobile application. Behavioural intention was the best predictor of use
behaviour among the 57 articles selected. 274 was the mean sample size of
research with 25 mean questionnaire items. SPSS and AMOS were the most common
softwares used in all 57 studies, and 32 of those studies used UTAUT1 model
while 14 researches incorporated the UTAUT2 model. There were also two
promising predictors such as perceived risk on behavioural intention and habit
on use behaviour.
